WOOX, manufacturers of Italian-American made gunstocks, axes and knives, crafted with the finest materials and the latest technology, is proud to announce the introduction of the new Elegante Hybrid bolt action rifle stock. The Hybrid was designed and engineered for hunters who demand precision without giving up the feel and carry of a traditional bolt action hunting rifle.

“The Elegante Series began as a true passion project for our entire team,” said Ben Fleming, CEO of WOOX USA. “WOOX has always been known for blending the timeless character of wood with the strength, performance, and modern refinement of metal and aluminum. With the Elegante Series, our goal was to create something that felt classic and nostalgic in appearance, while incorporating modern design elements that enhance repeatability, consistency, and precision.” Fleming goes on to say, “We poured an incredible amount of care, craftsmanship, and intention into every detail of this series, and I’m confident the result is a timeless design that will resonate with end users who value both beauty and performance.”

The new Elegante Hybrid carries like a traditional hunting rifle should, but it shoots with the consistency of something that costs considerably more. Crafted from carefully selected Claro American walnut, this precision-built hunting platform delivers the balance and handling expected from high-end modern bolt action platforms. The Hybrid is perfectly shaped and crafted in Italy, and hand finished in Hickory, NC. Weighing in at just 35 ounces, the Elegante Hybrid is well under the weight of a traditional wood rifle stock. It utilizes an integrated aluminum mini-chassis and an internal weight system that allows for fine-tuning of the rifle to create the perfect balance between weight, repeatability, handling, and performance. (weights sold separately).

The Elegante Hybrid features a vertical grip, flat-bottom forend, negative comb, and integrated thumb rest to provide stability and comfort in any situation. This unique stock provides the same precision tolerances and repeatable bedding geometry that gives you chassis level performance in a hybrid walnut stock. The Elegante Hybrid stock is built from a single piece of American walnut with two choices of wood grades, standard or high-grade American walnut. Each is hand-selected and chosen specifically for grain and character. Because walnut is a natural material, no two stocks carry the same pattern. The one you order is the only one that looks exactly like it, anywhere.

Premium Features Include:

• Full-length standard and high-grade American walnut, hand-oiled
• Integrated aerospace-grade aluminum mini-chassis
• Negative comb design
• 20-degree vertical grip with L/R integrated thumb rest
• Integrated suspense system for balance and weight distribution
• M-LOK 6-slot rail at 6 o’clock position on forend for accessories
• Ventilated recoil pad for enhanced comfort
• Adjustable length of pull via optional spacers
• MSRP: Standard American Walnut $549.00

High Grade Walnut $879.00
